Eight shot after 'inebriated' man turned away from Texas bar | US news | The Guardian
Police say gunman claimed to be ‘UFC fighter from California’
San Antonio chief: shooter at large but no danger to public
A man who was turned away from a bar in Texas on Friday night shot and wounded at least eight people in the parking lot, police said.
Police were searching for the gunman, who fled the scene, the San Antonio police chief, William McManus, said at a briefing early on Saturday.
The gunman was part of a small group that left a bar in northern San Antonio and walked across the street to Rebar, a large nightspot that often has live music and DJ performances.
The group was turned away at the door because they were “inebriated”, McManus said.
The police chief said one of the members of the group responded by saying: “Don’t you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California.”
That man then walked back to his car across the street, got a long rifle, walked back to the Rebar parking lot and opened fire, McManus said.
The victims were five women and three men between the ages of 23 and 41.

Lot of guns in TX.
